I actually don't think the c-word would be as damaging, but it would get a lot more play on the airwaves and drive the PR comment out. So at the moment, I'm kind of glad they did that.

Calling someone a c*** is crass but it's the sort of thing you hear at comedy shows frequently. Hell, Jim Jeffries uses the word dozens of times per show (with a different meaning and reference, of course, but still). And it's a one-off thing that doesn't necessarily represent a sentiment. It's dismissable as bad taste.

But the "garbage" comment is truly shocking. That isn't something you hear every day. Or any day. And there's no sugar coating it, or saying locker room talk, or anything of the sort.

Of course, the c-joke might also have had a lot of objectionable content besides just the word.

Elon Musk has the GOP covered with C-word jokes anyway.

 


And for telling her elderly followers to skip their power bill this month if they need to in order to make a donation to her ministry.

The garbage comment is also not clever enough to pass as a roasting.
 
Honestly, focusing on Trump’s outrageous commentary distracts from topics more important to his character and fitness for office. It’s better to remind potential voters of Jan. 6; his contempt for the rule of law; his ignorance on foreign diplomacy; his refusal to follow advice from his advisors; his shady business dealings; his ties to Russia, and more.

You don't know women then as well as you should. It is virtually the worst pejorative to sling their way. There will be payback...

Is it really, though? All of those things have been widely publicized for the last 4-8 years. Reminding potential voters of something they already know—and have likely already passed judgement on long ago—seems kinda futile at this point. Whereas each new racist/sexist/fascist diatribe Is a fresh reminder of the garbage human being that Trump is, void of even the most basic leadership skills.

Trump's M.O. is to create as much noise and smoke as possible to cover the central truths. And to tell more lies, projection, and distraction from his clear record of criminal activity, conspiracy against the US and our Constitution, conspiring with enemies of the United States, bribery, blackmail, emoluments, bank fraud, election fraud, igniting a riot against our US Capitol, witness tampering, stealing the nation's top secrets and sharing them - including with our enemies, by firing the pandemic team in 2018 and incompetence during COVID over 700K lost their lives that did not need to...as well as excessive QE and tariffs that exacerbated inflation.

The "joke" is that "C word" is a reference to Kamala being a "C"ommunist.

No, no, and no.

The Communist bit is just a cover to call her a cunt. When one of their brain-dead followers reads that tweet, they aren’t thinking “Yeah man, she’s totally a communist.” They are thinking EXACTLY what they are meant to think about her: She’s a cunt. This is by design.

Giving them cover by insinuating it’s a clever play on the communism angle is the same kind of bullshit sane-washing that the media has been doing for years on Trump’s behalf.

These people are misogynistic scum. Don’t normalize them.

(Apologies for my use of the c-word. It was the best way for me to get my point across regarding the depravity of these people).

*I'm* not giving her cover. I'm simply saying what their "joke" was. There is no "cover" there. The whole point of the "joke" was to make a play on the C-word. I don't think they were trying to hide their intentions.

Musk PAC ad branding Harris a 'big old C-Word' spectacularly backfired

The ad said 'communist' but implied something else.

It would be an unforced error but I think you are overstating it. Pretty much all women hate being called that but some will sling that slur at other women.

A lot of Trump voting women would approve of it because they think the same about Harris. Harris voting women would get really angry but that wouldn't have much impact on the bigger picture.

Most women who understand the misogyny inherent in a man using that word aren't on the fence. They could lose some swing voters over it but it isn't the game changer that you are implying.

"A lot of Trump voting women would approve of it because they" ... are just fine with him grabbing them by the short hairs. They even have t-shirts. But at this point in the game "... could lose some swing voters..." may be more of a "game changer" than one might think.

Maybe. I know it's a pejorative, but I don't know if pejoratives are as damaging as an entire sentence referring to a whole group of people as garbage. But who knows. It certainly doesn't matter at all.
